‘Doom Patrol’ Joins DC Universe Digital Streaming Service

Doom Patrol DC Universe

The DC Universe Digital Service has added another exclusive in the form of Doom Patrol, an upcoming one-hour live action series.

Doom Patrol has been given a direct-to-series 13-episode order by Warner Bros. The one-hour drama will be executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Geoff Johns, Jeremy Carver, and Sarah Schechter.


Here’s the official Doom Patrol log line that ties into another upcoming DC Universe series.

Doom Patrol is a re-imagining of one of DC’s most beloved group of outcast Super Heroes: Robotman, Negative Man, Elasti-Girl and Crazy Jane, led by modern-day mad scientist Dr. Niles Caulder (The Chief). The Doom Patrol’s members each suffered horrible accidents that gave them superhuman abilities – but also left them scarred and disfigured. Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found purpose through The Chief, who brought them together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in existence — and to protect Earth from what they find. Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of super-powered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them. Picking up after the events of Titans, Doom Patrol will find these reluctant heroes in a place they never expected to be, called to action by none other than Cyborg, who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse, but with a warning that is hard to ignore: their lives will never, ever be the same.

Look for Doom Patrol to begin production a little later this year for a 2019 debut on the upcoming DC Universe streaming service.
